Análisis de la deformación en caliente de superficies de fracturaen un depósito hidráulicamente fracturado utilizando el métododel elemento finitoPublicada el 29/06/2015

In this study, we develop a Galerkin-type finite element (FE) solution toassess the creep deformation of fracture surfaces. These surfaces aretreated as comparatively compliant rocks which are separated by acomparatively stiff proppant pack. Viscoelastic properties of fracturesurfaces are assessed by the temperature and deformation dependentmodulus. The key challenge is to appropriately develop the creep and therelaxation functions which are continuous spectrum material functions andare unique for each model. Time dependent mechanical properties areconnected through an instantaneous elastic response and coupled by wayof nonlinear and convolution integral relationships. Coupling is achieved byway of convolution integrals computed using the full-time history of thematerial functions. As a novel numerical procedure, we apply a morecomputationally efficient algorithm to use discrete-spectrum approximationto the creep and relaxation functions, thus, allowing for adjustment of theenergy dissipativity of the model in a consistently low computation-time.The proposed approach is novel and is the only approach in the literature(to the best of authors’ knowledge) that considers the conductivity in anintended reservoir at the level of proppants. It will be demonstrated that theproposed model can be used for the assessment of fracture conductivityunder short or long-term loading conditions when rock material propertiescan be determined.

Carbonos porosos de hidroquinona e injertados con quinonapara la captura altamente selectiva de CO2 desde gases decombustión y gas naturalPublicada el 26/06/2015

Hydroquinone and quinone functional groups were grafted onto ahierarchical porous carbon framework via the Friedel–Crafts reaction todevelop more efficient adsorbents for the selective capture and removal ofcarbon dioxide from flue gases and natural gas. The oxygen-doped porouscarbons were characterized with scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. CO2, CH4,and N2 adsorption isotherms were measured and correlated with theLangmuir model. An ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivity forthe CO2/N2 separation of 26.5 (298 K, 1 atm) was obtained on thehydroquinone-grafted carbon, which is 58.7% higher than that of thepristine porous carbon, and a CO2/CH4 selectivity value of 4.6 (298 K, 1atm) was obtained on the quinone-grafted carbon (OAC-2), whichrepresents a 28.4% improvement over the pristine porous carbon. Thehighest CO2 adsorption capacity on the oxygen-doped carbon adsorbentsis 3.46 mmol g–1 at 298 K and 1 atm.

Evaluación del proceso de extracción de vapor y su perspectivacomo método de recuperación mejorada de petróleoPublicada el 30/05/2015

The vapour extraction (VAPEX) process is a promising technique to extract heavy oil and bitumen whileminimising environmental pollution and capital costs compared to conventional thermal processes. This papercomprehensively reviews the literature on the vapour extraction process to elucidate why VAPEX is not yetoperational at the field scale. It was found that unfeasibility of the VAPEX process is mainly attributed tooperational issues. A sufficient number of parameters that are associated with these two issues and affect theVAPEX process are evaluated in this paper. [Received: March 11, 2013; Accepted: October 17, 2013]

Optimización y aplicación de espectrometría de masas deintercambio de hidrógeno-deuterio para la especiación decompuestos de nitrógenoPublicada el 26/06/2015

A systematic study was performed to investigate the utility of atmosphericpressure chemical ionization hydrogen–deuterium exchange massspectrometry (APCI HDX MS) to identify the structures of nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds. First, experiments were performed todetermine the optimized experimental conditions, with dichloromethaneand CH3OD found to be good cosolvents for APCI HDX. In addition, apositive correlation between the heated capillary temperature and theobserved HDX signal was observed, and it was suggested that the HDXreaction occurred when molecules were contained in the solvent cluster.Second, 20 standard nitrogen-containing compounds were analyzed toinvestigate whether speciation could be determined based on the differenttypes of ions produced from nitrogen-containing compounds with variousfunctional groups. The number of exchanges occurring within thecompounds correlated well with the number of active hydrogen atomsattached to nitrogen, and it was confirmed that APCI HDX MS could beused to determine speciation. The results obtained by APCI HDX MS werecombined with the subsequent investigation of the double bondequivalence distribution and indicated that resins of shale oil extractcontained mostly pyridine type nitrogen compounds. This study confirmedthat APCI HDX MS can be added to previously reported chemicalionization, electrospray ionization, and atmospheric pressure photoionization-based HDX methods, which can be used for structuralelucidation by mass spectrometry.

Preparación de LLDPE a través de polimerización de etileno entándem utilizando catalizadores de cromo y circonioPublicada el 25/06/2015

The effective tandem catalysis systems including the trimerization catalystof CrCl3/SNS [SNS = bis-(2-pentylsulfanyl-ethyl)-amine] and thecopolymerization catalyst of rac-ethylene bis(indenyl) zirconium (IV)dichloride have been introduced. The CrCl3/SNS catalyst was synthesizedvia reaction between CrCl3(THF)3 precursor and SNS as efficient ligand atroom temperature. An ethylene trimerization reaction at 90 °C and 23 barethylene, using the CrCl3/SNS complex activated by 700 equivalents ofmethylaluminoxane, afforded 99.9 % 1-C6. Only 0.10 % PE was produced.Effect of different parameters such as ethylene pressure and Cr/Zr ratiowas investigated during tandem polymerization. Successive increases inthe CrCl3/SNS amount yielded a series of copolymer samples withdecreased T m and X c. The butyl branches of produced polymer wereidentified by 13C NMR analysis. Data from dynamic mechanical thermalanalysis indicated formation of various polymeric materials with thebranches, which their stiffness varied according to the Cr/Zr ratio used inthe polymerization reaction.

Deshidrogenación catalítica de propano: Estrategias avanzadaspara el análisis y diseño de reactores de lecho móvilPublicada el 22/06/2015

A moving bed reactor (MBR) is one of the most innovative reactors that are commonly used in industrynowadays. However, the modeling and optimization of the reactor have been rarely performed at conceptualdesign stage due to its complexity of design, and it has resulted in increased capital and operating costs of theoverall chemical processes. In this work, advanced strategies were introduced to model an MBR and itsregenerator mathematically, incorporating catalyst deactivation, such as coke formation. Various reactordesigns and operating parameters of the MBR were optimized to increase the overall reactor performance,such as conversion or selectivity of the main products across the reactor operating period. These optimizationparameters include: (1) reactant flow inside a reactor, (2) various networks of MBRs, (3) temperature of thefeed stream, (4) intermediate heating or cooling duties, (5) residence time of the catalyst or velocity of catalystflow, and (6) flow rate of the fresh make-up catalyst. The propane dehydrogenation process was used as acase study, and the results showed the possibility of significant increase of reactor performance throughoptimization of the above parameters. For optimization, the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm wasincorporated into the reactor modeling. This approach can be easily applied to other reaction processes inindustry.

Modelo transportado PDF de ethanol aerosol en una llama deco-flujo diluida en calientePublicada el 17/06/2015

This paper presents a numerical modeling study of one ethanol sprayflame from the Delft Spray-in-Hot-Coflow (DSHC) database, which hasbeen used to study Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD)combustion of liquid fuels (Correia Rodrigues et al. Combust. Flame162(3), 759–773, 2015). A “Lagrangian-Lagrangian” approach is adoptedwhere both the joint velocity-scalar Probability Density Function (PDF) forthe continuous phase and the joint PDF of droplet properties are modeledand solved. The evolution of the gas phase composition is described by aFlamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) and the interaction by exchange withthe mean (IEM) micro-mixing model. Effects of finite conductivity on dropletheating and evaporation are accounted for. The inlet boundary conditionsstarting in the dilute spray region are obtained from the availableexperimental data together with the results of a calculation of the sprayincluding the dense region using ANSYS Fluent 15. A method is developedto determine a good estimation for the initial droplet temperature. Theinclusion of the “1/3” rule for droplet evaporation and dispersion models isshown to be very important. The current modeling approach is capable ofaccurately predicting main properties, including mean velocity, dropletmean diameter and number density. The gas temperature is under-predicted in the region where the enthalpy loss due to droplet evaporationis important. The flame structure analysis reveals the existence of two heatrelease regions, respectively having the characteristics of a premixed anda diffusion flame. The experimental and modeled temperature PDFs arecompared, highlighting the capabilities and limitations of the proposedmodel.

Producción directa de gas de síntesis flexible de H2/CO en unreactor de membrana de electrolito sólidoPublicada el 15/06/2015

The development of novel configurations for the production of synthesisgas (syn-gas) of flexible H2/CO ratio is of great importance to reduce thecost for the synthesis of synfuels and high-value chemicals. In this work,we propose a radically novel approach to the direct production of syn-gaswith flexible H2/CO ratio based on the solid electrolyte membrane reactor(SEMR). For that purpose, a single-chamber solid electrolyte membranereactor based on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been developed(Pt/YSZ/Pt), where both active Pt catalysts–electrodes were exposed tothe same reaction atmosphere (C2H5OH/H2O=0.7 %/2 %). Theapplication of different polarizations at temperature range (600–700 °C)allows to control the H2/CO ratio of the obtained syn-gas, i.e., the ratio wasvaried between 1.5 and 12 under polarization conditions. Unlikeconventional catalytic partial oxidation processes, the H2/CO adjustmentwas managed without the requirement of external O2 feeding to thereactor. An increase in the applied current or potential caused the H2/COratio to increase vs. the open-circuit conditions where ethanol reformingoccurred on the Pt catalyst–electrodes which is due to an increase in therate of the electro-catalytic processes. On the other hand, a decrease inthe H2/CO ratio at a fixed potential was achieved at higher temperaturesdue to the further reaction of the produced H2 with the rest of the speciespresent in the gas phase, leading to a decrease in the faradaic efficiency.The proposed configuration may be of great interest especially forbiorefinery applications where H2, syn-gas and electricity may beproduced from bioethanol.

Preparación y caracterización de sílice funcionalizado de ácidosulfónico y su aplicación para la esterificación de etanol y ácidomaleicoPublicada el 12/06/2015

The surface of commercially available silica gel, 60–200 mesh size, wasmodified with sulfonic acid through surface activation, grafting of 3-Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, oxidation and acidification of 3-Mercaptopropylsilica. Sulfonic Acid Functionalization of Silica (SAFS) wasconfirmed by Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermalgravimetric analysis. Acid–base titration was used to estimate the cationexchange capacity of the SAFS. Catalytic activity of SAFS was judged forthe esterification of ethanol with maleic acid. An effect of different processparameters viz. molar ratio, catalyst loading, speed of agitation andtemperature were studied and optimized by Box Behnken Design (BBD) ofResponse Surface Methodology (RSM). Quadratic model developed byBBD–RSM reasonably satisfied an experimental and predicted values withcorrelation coefficient value R2 = 0.9504.

Hidrocraqueo de gasóleos con rendimiento aumentado dedestiladoPublicada el 03/06/2015

Methods are provided for improving the yield of distillate products fromhydroprocessing of gas oil feedstocks, such as vacuum gas oils. It hasbeen unexpectedly found that stripping of gases or fractionation toseparate out a distillate fraction during initial hydrotreatment of a feed canprovide a substantial increase in distillate yield at a desired amount offeedstock conversion. The improvement in yield of distillate products canallow a desired level of conversion to be performed on a feedstock forgenerating lubricating base oil products while reducing or minimizing theamount of naphtha (or lower) boiling range products. Alternatively, theimprovement in yield of distillate products can correspond to an improvedyield during a single pass through a reaction system, so that distillate yieldis increased even though a lubricant boiling range product is notgenerated.

Bombeo de petróleo crudo mediante impulsor centrífugo condiferentes ángulos de paleta y rugosidad de la superficiePublicada el 08/06/2015

Centrifugal pumps are extensively used in the oil and gas industries andthe pump performance drops with higher viscosity and higher surfaceroughness of the pump impeller, and the impeller design parameters havesignificant effect on the pump performance. Through the present research,crude oil pumping behavior has been predicted, analyzed and comparedwith other fluids. A 3D flow simulation using Reynolds-averagedNavier–Stokes (RANS) equation was performed by considering differentblade angles and impeller surface roughness to pump crude oil, kerosene,gasoline, saline-water and water. Standard k- two-equation turbulencemodel was used for the turbulent closure of steady incompressible flow.The investigation shows that the blade angles have significant influence onthe head, input power and efficiency of the impeller for different liquids.Higher head and power, and lower hydraulic efficiency were observed withhigher surface roughness values.

Publication date: 27 June 2015 Source:Egyptian Journal of PetroleumAuthor(s): H.A. Elmawgoud , T.M. Elshiekh , S.A. Khalil , A.M. Alsabagh ,Mamoun Tawfik The scavenging of hydrogen sulfide is the preferredmethod for minimizing the corrosion and operational risks in oil productionfacilities. Hydrogen sulfide removal from multiphase produced fluids priorto phase separation and processing by injection of EPRI H2S scavengersolution (one of the chemical products of Egyptian Petroleum ResearchInstitute) into the gas phase by using the considered chemical systemcorresponds to an existing oil well in Qarun Petroleum Company wasmodeled. Using a kinetic model the value of H2S in the three phases wasdetermined along the flow path from well to separator tanks. The effect ofvariable parameters such as, gas flow rates, chemical injection doses, pipediameter and length on mass transfer coefficient KGa, H2S outletconcentration and H2S scavenger efficiency has been studied. Themodeling of the hydrogen sulfide concentration profiles for differentconditions was performed. The results may be helpful in estimatinginjection rates of H2S scavengers for similar fields and conditions.

Membranas de zeolita para producción de hidrógeno a partir degas natural: Estado del artePublicada el 31/05/2015

Currently, hydrogen is produced industrially by processes requiring high energy consumption, especially bycracking fossil fuels and by splitting water. In recent years, research has been devoted to the use of membranecatalytic reactors in order to achieve higher hydrogen yield. Zeolite membranes have been shown to be verypromising as they are stable to contaminants (such as H2S) and do not have the disadvantages that palladiumand silica membranes exhibit. The aim of this work is to summarize the state of the art of hydrogen selectivezeolite membranes that can be applied for hydrogen separation after syngas production from reformingstreams. In addition, zeolite membrane applications in membrane reactors for hydrogen production arediscussed.

Nuevo sistema para la revisión de la recuperación mejorada delpetróleo en yacimientos no fracturadosPublicada el 11/05/2015

Publication date: Available online 11 May 2015 Source:Fuzzy Sets andS y s t e m s A u t h o r ( s ) : S . E g h b a l i , S h . A y a t o l l a h i , R .BozorgmehryBoozarjomehry As the oil production from conventional oilreservoirs is decreasing, oil production through Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR) processes are supposed to compensate for both the oil productionreduction in matured oil reservoirs and the worldwide dramatic increase inoil demand. Therefore, developing a strategy to choose an optimized EORtechnique is crucial to find a resolution for production decline in oilreservoirs. A screening tool recommending the most appropriate EORmethod is proposed in this study. An expert fuzzy logic system is employedto screen four well-known EOR methods including miscible CO 2 injection,miscible HC gas injection, polymer flooding and steam injection based onthe reservoir condition, fluids characteristics and rock properties. Since thisexpert system has incorporated the rules from successful past experience,it reduces the requirement of extensive laboratory and field data. Theexpert system can be used as a quick estimation for evaluating thesuccess of the EOR processes for a particular reservoir before making anyexecutive decision. Based on the approach proposed in this research, ascreening program capable of ranking proper EOR techniques has beendeveloped. The output results have been compared with the results of aBayesian Belief Network (BBN) model and some field experience. Thiscomparison indicated that not only is the proposed model in a goodagreement with the field data, but it also provides a more robust approachthan the BBN model.

Flujo de emulsiones para la recuperación mejorada del petróleo:Optimización interactiva de comportamiento de fases,experimentos microvisuales y de flujo del núcleoPublicada el 02/05/2015

Publication date: 2 May 2015 Source: Journal of Industrial and EngineeringChemistry Author(s): Mohammad Saber Karambeigi , Reza Abbassi ,Emad Roayaei , Mohammad Ali Emadi Emulsion flooding has been provedto be an effective chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) method. Theperformance of this technique is strongly dependant on the formulation ofthe emulsion slug. To achieve the best formulation, different approacheshave been introduced in the literature. Nevertheless, a systematic workflowcontaining the method(s) of the design of experiments (DOEs) has notbeen reported as yet. In this paper, we developed a workflow which iscomprised mainly of three stages. In the first place, the phase behaviorexperiments of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/water/diesel (as an efficientand economic hydrocarbon phase)/salt system were carried out usingresponse surface methodology (RSM) to model and optimize theemulsif ication process. The second stage is fol lowed by thecharacterization of optimum formulation in terms of rheological behaviorand particle size distribution. Finally, microvisual and core-flooddisplacement tests were performed to evaluate the efficacy of emulsionflooding to recover the residual oil bypassed or trapped after waterflooding. This paper presents the results of experiments done in differentstages of the proposed workflow. The results demonstrate the highpotential of emulsion formulated systematically by DOE approach toincrease oil recovery factor. Graphical abstract

Publication date: May 2015. Source: Journal of the Energy Institute,Volume 88, Issue 2 Author(s): H. Wang , X. Liao , X. Zhao With thedevelopment of oil exploration and production technology, tight oil reservoirdevelopment has attracted more attention in oil industry worldwide. Tightoil will be the important unconventional oil resources of future oil increasedreserves and production. The tight oil generally refers to the oil resourcesthat have experienced short distance transport and gathered in tightsandstone, tight limestone and tight carbonate reservoir layer, which isinterbedded symbiosis with or close to the source bed, and the overburdenpressure matrix permeability is less than or equal to 0.1 mD and reservoirporosity is less than 10%. Based on the fluid properties, formationcharacteristics and development measures of Chang 8 formation tight oilreservoir in Ordos Basin, the models of horizontal well, fractured horizontalwell, volume fractured horizontal well and multi-stage fractured horizontalwell are established through the methods of reservoir engineering andnumerical simulation. Those 4 different wells are laid in box-shaped tightoil reservoirs. The fluid flow stages and regimes of the 4 models arestudied in detail in the paper, and the effect of wellbore storage coefficient,skin factor, fracture half-length, fracture stage spacing and the mainfracture conductivity to flow regimes were analyzed. The results of thisstudy will be helpful to develop tight oil reservoir and understand flowregimes.

Comportamiento de nanopartículas de titanio en goma guarhidroxipropilada utilizada en fluidos para la fracturaciónhidráulica para la recuperación del petróleoPublicada el 27/05/2015

Fluids pumped in hydraulic fracturing operations constitute highly viscousgels achieved via cross-linking of the polysaccharide derivativehydroxypropyl guar (HPG), e.g., with titanium or zirconium complexes. Inthis study, the mechanism underlying the cross-linking effect was clarifiedexperimentally for the titanium system. It was found that the cross-linkingeffect is not based on a ligand exchange reaction with the cis-hydroxyfunctionalities present in HPG but instead relies on TiO2 nanoparticlesresulting from hydrolysis of the Ti complexes. For example, 6 nm titaniananospheres (anatase polymorph) synthesized via acid hydrolysis oftetraisopropyl orthotitanate can increase the viscosity of a HPG solution bya factor of 25. However, this effect was observed only at pH = 2–4 wherethe nanoparticles are stable. At higher pH values, electrostatic repulsionbetween the nanoparticles decreases, resulting in agglomeration as wasobserved via zeta potential and pH-dependent particle size measurement.

Mecanismo inicial de pirólisis de kerógeno de shale gas consimulación reactiva de dinámica molecularPublicada el 07/05/2015

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using a reactive force field (ReaxFF) method for a Green River oil shalemodel demonstrate that the thermal decomposition of the oil shale molecule is initiated with the cleavage of theoxygen bridge (C–O bond), and the first product is formaldehyde (CH2O). The simulation results show that theC–O bond is weaker than the other bonds, agreeing with its smaller bond dissociation energy (BDE). The ring-opening position of the aliphatic ring is usually determined by the stability of free radicals formed in thisprocess. For aromatic hydrocarbons, the long-chain substituents are found to be easier to leave and thecleavage of C–C bonds leads to a series of chain reactions and the formation of small fragments, such asethylene and propylene.

Síntesis de microemulsión reversa y caracterización decatalizador de nano-sulfuro de níquel para el hidrocraqueo deresiduos en fase de suspensiónPublicada el 07/05/2015

Nano nickel sulfide catalysts (NSCs) were successfully prepared for residue slurry-phase hydrocracking, whichwere synthesized by precipitation reaction in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or mixed-surfactant(CTAB and Tween-80)/1-butanol/toluene/water reverse microemulsion in the presence of NiCl2 as the nickelresource and (NH4)2S as the sulfiding reagent. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Experimental data revealed that both the kind and contentof surfactants play a significant role in the morphology and size of NSCs. The particle size and crystallinity ofNSC increased by thermal sulfiding at 300 °C in Karamay vacuum gas oil (KLVGO). Optical micrographsshowed that NSCs could be well-dispersed in Karamay atmospheric residue (KLAR) without obviousaggregation. On the basis of the lower yields of gas, atmospheric residue (AR), and coke, the NSCs showedhigher catalytic activity than a conventional water/oil-soluble Ni catalyst. NSCs had excellent coke suppressionperformance (coke yield is less than 0.65 wt %), and the produced coke mainly dispersed in liquid products.With the decrease of NSC particle size, the coke suppression performance enhanced and the size of toluene-insoluble fraction in liquid products (TI-LP) decreased.

Resonancia plasmónica de superficie para la caracterización depetróleo crudoPublicada el 23/04/2015

In this work, crude oil characterization based on surface plasmonresonance (SPR) is demonstrated. Oil characterization plays a crucial rolein both the upstream and downstream oil industry. The application of SPRto these opaque, high index fluids is made possible here using infraredlight ( = 1550 nm) for which crude oil is largely transparent, coupledthrough a high-index prism. Bitumen–toluene mixture tests show ameasurement sensitivity of 74° RIU–1 and a limit of detection below 1%toluene. Seven crude oils from around the world are differentiated withrefractive indices (RIs) spanning 1.44–1.56, with a sensor limit of detectionof 0.0006 RIU. These results indicate a significant potential for SPR as anon-intrusive, fast, and simple technique for crude oil characterizationapplicable to reservoirs, surface facilities, and pipelines.

The Ag nanoporous foams possess favorablemodulus (~0.7 GPa) and strength (~14 MPa), much higher than most ofthe polymers or ceramic foams. It is found that the Ag nanoporous foamsare appropriate candidates for the catalytic and electrode applications.However, they do not exhibit efficient anti-bacterial effect, unless muchsmaller bacteria with cell sizes of 100 nm or less in the neighborhood areencountered.

Efecto del tamaño de nanopartículas de hierro en la actividadcatalítica y selectividad de nanocompuestos en lahidrogenólisis de etilenoPublicada el 10/06/2015

It was established that increase in the size of the iron nanoparticles in Fe/CNT nanocomposites from 4 to 8 nmleads to increase of their activity and selectivity with respect to methane in the hydrogenolysis of ethylene. Theactivity and selectivity of the nanocomposites are significantly higher than those of macrocrystalline iron, andthis may be due to differences in the thermal conductivity of the bulk iron and the carbon nanotubes.

Caracterización petrológica y simulación reactiva de transportede un yacimiento petrolífero para captura de CO2 en ChinaOrientalPublicada el 01/06/2015

Publication date: June 2015. Source: International Journal of GreenhouseGas Control, Volume 37 Author(s): Zhichao Yu , Li Liu , Keyu Liu , SiyuYang , Yongzhi Yang CO2 geological sequestration (CGS) in depleted orhigh-water-cut oil reservoirs is a viable option for reducing anthropogenicCO2 emissions and enhancing oil recovery. The Upper CretaceousQingshankou Formation in the central Changling (fault) Depression,Songliao Basin, East China is the selected site for a pilot injection of theCO2 INJECTION project. The target reservoir depth is about 2400–2500m.Lithologic features and diagenetic minerals of the reservoir and cap rockshave been investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In the QingshankouFormation, the reservoir rock is a typical arkose with moderately to goodsorting, and very fine to fine grain sizes. Minerallogically it is dominated byquartz (19–31vol.%), plagioclase (19–28vol.%), and K-feldspar(2–26vol.%). Calcite and ankerite constitute the most common diageneticminerals. The lithology of the cap rock is mainly silty mudstone andcomposed of quartz (average of 12.9–27.0wt.%), albite (14.2–35.5wt.%),K-feldspar (1.3–2.7wt.%), mixed-layer illite/smectite (24.9–68.8wt.%),chlorite (3.15–14.7wt.%) and some kaolinite. The main antigenic mineralsin the CO2 INJECTION well are made up of albite (average of 29.7wt.%),K-feldspar (average of 4.5wt.%), calcite (average of 7.5wt.%) and ankerite(average of 9.1wt.%). To assess the long-term CO2 EOR-relatedfluid–rock interaction processes and evaluate the safety of CO2 geologicalstorage in the Qingshankou Formation, reactive geochemical transportsimulations using a simple 2D model were performed.

La información como un activo: Qué puede aprender el sectorde petróleo y gas de otras industrias acerca del “Big Data”Publicada el 01/06/2015

Publication date: June 2015. Source: Energy Policy, Volume 81 Author(s):Robert K. Perrons , Jesse W. Jensen The upstream oil and gas industryhas been contending with massive data sets and monolithic files for manyyears, but “Big Data” is a relatively new concept that has the potential tosignificantly re-shape the industry. Despite the impressive amount of valuethat is being realized by Big Data technologies in other parts of themarketplace, however, much of the data collected within the oil and gassector tends to be discarded, ignored, or analyzed in a very cursory way.This viewpoint examines existing data management practices in theupstream oil and gas industry, and compares them to practices andphilosophies that have emerged in organizations that are leading the wayin Big Data. The comparison shows that, in companies that are widelyconsidered to be leaders in Big Data analytics, data is regarded as avaluable asset—but this is usually not true within the oil and gas industryinsofar as data is frequently regarded there as descriptive informationabout a physical asset rather than something that is valuable in and ofitself. The paper then discusses how the industry could potentially extractmore value from data, and concludes with a series of policy-relatedquestions to this end.

Solución analítica y mecanismos de producción de fluidos apartir de pozos hidráulicamente fracturados con conductividadlimitada de fracturaPublicada el 31/05/2015

A comprehensive study of the physical mechanisms of fluid production from a well intersected by a narrowelliptically shaped vertical fracture with finite fracture conductivity is carried out using a newly obtainedanalytical solution. The flow pattern, flux density distribution along the fracture surface, and fluid production rateare analyzed systematically with respect to finite fracture conductivity. The simplicity of the new analyticalsolution reveals many physical insights not attainable from existing analytical or numerical solutions. It is shownthat the nearly singular pressure gradient developed at the fracture tip induces the reservoir flow to converge toand focus at the tip region, promoting flux density along the entire fracture surface and enhancing theproduction rate. It is established that the flow in the reservoir is a superposition of two basic flows, a confocalelliptical flow responsible for the fluid production, and a redistributive nonproducing flow induced by a finitefracture conductivity that draws fluids out of the fracture from the part near the tip and redeposits them back tothe part of the fracture close to the wellbore. An explicit analytical formula for the fluid production rate is alsoderived that exhibits a simple dependency on the dimensionless fracture conductivity.
